My absolute favorite restaurant! The lamb chops melt in your mouth like butter and the calamari is DIVINE! The cheese plate appetizer has the best stilton on the planet!

The aesthetics of the place is ok, way too dark in there! Couldn’t see my food and of course I used my light on my phone. The tables are a little bit too close together. Appetizer calamari was good, the scallop dish was not it, the butternut squash purée was runny, the scallops was not cook through and I mean not cook through I tried one and that was it!! Bartender he was really nice mess up my homegirl drink but he did fix her another one and I appreciate him for that since I work in hospitality 4 star Michelin restaurant myself so I know good food / good service when I see it. Born and raised in Harlem I be rooting for us with the different cuisines but it’s always a hit or miss.

It was too dark I could barely see my food. I got the spinach lasagna, it was unlike any lasagna I’ve had. It was mainly just melted cheese, the lamb had little flavor and the noodles were few. Honestly no one at our table was impressed by the food, taste nor quality. Great bread.

I recently dined at Vinateriá and I must say, the food and service were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The menu offered a variety of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The service was attentive, friendly, and truly made our dining experience exceptional. I would definitely return to this restaurant in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian meal. 5/5 stars.

Vineteria is a true neighborhood gem. The ambience is sexy and cozy. The wine list is stellar and the food is outstanding. Vineteria has a great happy hour menu as well. The vibe is very cool. Tom the manager as well as the owners and their staff provide a welcoming atmosphere which is always appreciated. We are always treated like royalty. Great place!!

Vinateria is truly one of Harlems' rare gems. What sets them apart is the understanding that service matters. The food was delicious, the ambiance, warm and welcoming. The kindness and thoughtfulness of the entire crew was incomparable. Thank you all for making my meeting an incredible success. The lawyers I dined with, will all make Vinateria, their choice for meetings.
Both food and the experience is really good at this place, I have been going here for 2 years now. I Stan their Black Seafood pasta but overall everything I ordered from the menu tastes like no other. We were watching this documentary one day with my boyfriend and found out that this place actually Michelin starred. Well they deserve it, if you're thinking to have dinner or happy hour here don't think for long for go and see for yourself. Service is so good, all the staff have (from waiters to runners) professional and friendly manners. Everyone is always smiling which build this lovely atmosphere. Mr. Tom ( the manager ) is one of the best managers I've ever seen.

Excellent food. Service was not great. We had an outdoor pod with heater and it was freezing. I think they forgot about us and we had to go ask for service. The food though was excellent and so was the wine selection.

TLDR: 3.75/5: Service was fair, the food was definitely good, not particularly blown away given the price, with a very nice date night kind of ambiance. Ordered: Sauteed Wild Mushrooms: 5/5 - There is something about mushrooms but when they are simply sauteed well they are transformative in the mouth. And this was one of those dishes. They were cooked perfectly and the flavor was outstanding. Dare I say was the best thing I had. Linguini De Mare: 3.75/5 - It got docked a point because it was lukewarm upon delivery. The shrimp was overcooked, not many clams, and the mussels didn't hold much flavor. The pasta itself was just okay, cooked well but I didn't really get a blend of flavors ultimately, so it just felt a bit of a steep price for what was delivered. Other: I did love that they had bread and oil for free. Restaurants hardly give any free starters these days and this also was quite good for it to had been just bread but I love my carbs so I know it well. Service: 3.75/5 The service again was just okay. Didn't particularly feel a warm energy at all from the host to the server. In fact, they were watching us, I hope for better reasons than what I was thinking. The cup never ran dry which is always a plus. Ambiance: 4/5 Its not going to be everyone's vibe: the darkly lit, close tables, wooden chair . I thought it was fine and it is quite a cute place actually. Although I must say the wall in my photo was triggering my trypophobia, it was starting to make my skin crawl with all those holes but that's a me problem. Notes: - Its a bit of a walk from the nearest station but not bad of a walk in Harlem. - Definitely book a table online just in case
